Don't Stop Coal Now!

[coalcube]

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Re: To seek out more views or not to seek out more views...

Reading about the OTW's clique-ness and management problems really puts the anti-AO3 crowd that gets up in arms whenever donations come around in perspective.

The anti-AO3 crowd is so frustrating, because there are real problems with AO3 and the OTW coasts a lot on its reputation and fandom feeling -- but the antis can get easily slapped down with "censorship" or "you can't ask volunteers to do sensitivity work" and the real problems almost never get discussed.

Nah. The anti-AO3 crowd doesn't care about the management problems and cliquishness. They are just mad that AO3 allows incest, noncon and underage fic and refuses to engage with their campaigns to disallow that.

Antis do not give a fuck about organizational toxicity and inefficiencies. They just hate that it exists. cyrt is giving them waaaaaay too much credit.

I mean, I agree that the anti-AO3 crowd only care about scrubbing the content that they want, except that trying to talk in good faith about AO3's problems can get you put in the same bucket by its most rabid defenders.

dc Which helps no one. Even AO3's most fervent supporters dislike the organizational problems with the OTW. Yuletide isn't the only time of year tag wrangling issues get brought up, but it is the time when the maximum number of users are impacted at once.
